Based in south-central Vermont, Teaselwood regularly serves local clients at Okemo, Killington, Stratton, and Stowe. Many Teaselwood clients hold a primary residence outside of Vermont, and we take on projects In New England, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and beyond.

The initial consultation is an opportunity to become acquainted with a client’s vision and introduce them to Teaselwood’s unique design and renovation processes. Ahead of this meeting, our team reaches out to clients to glean insights that empower us to optimize this time together. We inquire about your lifestyle, goals, design and aesthetic and preferences, as well as your target budget and schedule. Clients leave this meeting with a comprehensive grasp of how to begin actualizing their dreams.

Knowing more about you empowers Teaselwood to craft a custom plan with room for refinement. Our informative discovery call and initial consultations allow our team to identify and diagnose each project’s unique potential, and timelines are contingent on its scope and location. As your project leader and advocate, our role is to ensure maximum efficiency, communication — and exceptional results.

Your project will be tailored to you and your home. After your consultation with us, our team will prepare a custom proposal. Inside, you will find a detailed overview of the scope of work, along with an estimate of our design fees based on projected hours. We’re committed to transparency with our clients and will provide regular updates so you always know where you and your project stand.

The Teaselwood team loves to meet clients in person, but doing so is not essential. Many of our clients live outside of Vermont, including in New York, Massachusetts, Florida, and even Australia. Meetings may be held by video conference and product samples (tile, hardware, fabric, etc.) shipped to a client’s primary address, allowing them to judge for feel, quality, and color.

Yes, and doing so is to your advantage. As designers, the Teaselwood team has spent years carefully curating a community of exclusive vendors, whom we trust for quality, style, service, and flexible customization. Our design process allows us to sift through thousands of options to discover the ideal furnishings for each client’s personal style and goals. In some cases, we even commission custom pieces.

After a client has approved our selections, Teaselwood hits the ground running. This includes placing, tracking, receiving, inspecting, storing, delivering, and installing accents and furnishings. Doing so streamlines this complex process, for efficiency and the client’s piece-of-mind. They are rewarded with beautiful, comfortable, enduring spaces.

Once an order is finalized and received by vendors, it cannot be canceled. Some stocked items have the potential to be canceled, depending on the vendor, though the client may incur restocking fees. Fortunately, Teaselwood’s process includes multiple checkpoints, at which we solicit feedback and approval. At the time of ordering, the client already has full confidence in their selections.

The beauty of Teaselwood’s depth of knowledge and experience is that we easily adapt to fit unique palettes and aesthetics. Our portfolio is loosely united by a love for cozy and clean mountain living, with sharp lines, natural elements, comfortable furnishings, and luxuriously durable materials for active lifestyles.
